When Silence Becomes Salvation: Old Varieties at the Stadttheater Fürth
This novel adaptation delves into a finely balanced story about flight, trust, and the healing power of nature. At the Stadttheater Fürth, Sally and Liss meet on a farm amidst fields and vineyards, where a quiet alliance forms from a temporary hideout. The stage adaptation of the bestseller by Ewald Arenz combines literary quality with a dense reading atmosphere, turning the material into an intense literary experience.

An Evening About Vulnerability and Closeness
Ewald Arenz tells in Old Varieties not loudly, but precisely. The language remains clear, almost poetic, and therein lies its effect: The landscape does not serve merely as a backdrop but as a participant. From this unfolds a chamber play on stage, making visible the subtle movements between two women whose lives are marked by fractures.

Literary Power Instead of Grand Gestures
The novel became a bestseller and touched hundreds of thousands of readers. The dramatization relies on reduction, on gaps, on a narrative style that allows the audience time to grow into the characters. This is precisely where the authority of this material lies: It trusts in the power of storytelling, in linguistic artistry, and in the intensity of the unspoken.
